I grew up in a musical family.  My dad was a radio DJ for 30 years.  My earliest memories were in radio stations and recording studios.  I grew up with the intentions of being in the music industry as a career.  I attained my goal in 2008 after recording with a local artist in New Jersey and shortly after,  joining the staff of a small indie label.  I managed artist, helped plan small tours, radio and T.V. appearances, and even hand deliver albums to music stores.  

As the music industry began to suffer and make big changes, the record label I worked at closed its doors.  I started taking college courses at Middlesex County College in Central Jersey, bought a camera and started shooting weddings with a friend.  After two years, I made the move back to Atlanta where I continued taking college courses.

One day while taking a break in between classes,  I saw smoke rising through some trees. I grabbed my camera and drove until I reached the fire. I snapped a few photos and called the local paper. Jessica Loeding, the managing editor of The Daily Tribune News in Cartersville, Georgia called me back and asked if I was interested in filling the photography position for a few weeks while the chief photographer was out on medical leave. After several weeks of shooting as many as five small assignments a day, I was hooked and have not looked back.

I have freelanced for the Washington Post, Associated Press, Atlanta Journal Constitution, European Pressphoto Agency, CNN  and various other publications.  My work has been published in New York Times, The Boston Globe Washington Post, NBC News, CBS News, The Guardian, TIME, and more.

I now work as a freelance photojournalist and videographer in the Washington D.C. area.

I still keep my foot in the world of journalism, so please reach out if you need coverage in the Washington D.C. area.

Let’s talk!

This is the first photo I ever had published in a newspaper.  A man set a field on fire and It ran on the front page of The Daily Tribune News, a small paper in North Georgia, the next day.
